Wade Barrett should've gotten a Heavyweight title and/or WWE title run with the Bad News Barrett gimmick. It would've gotten a lot of heat since he would've gotten challengers to jump through hoops, then says "I'm afraid I've got some good news, you don't have a title match with me". That would've gotten ratings through the roof
@@thereturnofharlem9030 I feel I would have rathered him have beat cena for the wwe championship when he was leader off nexus but a BNB title run would have been sweet as well
Highly underrated wrestler. Maybe was just in the business when there were more other high profile wrestlers at the time. Would be great if he did a comeback as BNB in a one off main event.
What made BNB great was Wade Barrett. "Ladies and Gentlemen. I'm afraid I've got some baad news" still one of the most memorable things I've seen in wrestling in 28 years.
Bad news Barrett was a damn good character tho, entertaining as hell lol. sadly he wouldn't become the new face of WWE that he was supposed to be, but if WWE kept at it, he would've still been a character now.
Why is that a question? OF COURSE HE SHOULD BEEEE* CHAMP!!!! Need him to return to the rumble this year. He can fight, he can talk, he has a great look, has the experience. Why not?!
Would have been great if Vince was back in charge he’d have gunther become an SS trooper and Wade the home guard. Battle of Britain ppv on the cliffs of Dover. Nationalities races and religions offended in droves and at the end for no reason Vince just does a shite on Vera lynns chest.
Fantasy booking Alert : Wade Barrett is from UK, so I'm just fantasy booking here. Bring in Pete dunne, Ijia Draganov, bring in Marty Scurl, and couple of other English guys, may be the guys who played Vaud Villains. Form a New NEXUS, The Nexus 3.0. Gunther vs Wade barret with Imperium vs Nexus would be so damn cool! Two European Factions going at it!

I saw Wade becoming the British version of HHH. Not Hunter Hearst Helmsley 😂 but in the same way we all saw Ziggler as the new Shawn Michaels. There's nothing wrong with borrowing from the past if you can actually pull it up and make fans care. Ric Flair wasn't the original Nature Boy.
He should have won it, Nexus was the hottest thing in a while, PG era RAW was pretty bland at the time and you had these guys really shake it up. Should have had the title once even if Nexus lost the WWE vs Nexus match him still having the title would have retained their momentum, instead he got buried and then literally got buried by chairs in the next match, tragic waste of mega heat. Nexus walked so The Shield could run.
See at the time it was interesting because people were for a while going down rabbit holes in TH-cam and they were finding out that the news media doesn’t always tell the truth and you can’t trust them… I always that the bad news Barrett gimmick was fantastic but if he slap on something that was like he was a newscaster delivering bad news in the way he was doing it we could have seen something that fit right in to the times… it would have been fantastic because people at that time were sick of the news and he would have been an even bigger annoying heel… there was so much more potential in it and it was one of those things that needed to be guided in the right direction
I like Wade Barrett but seeing him reminds me of how inept WWE was back then of following through when their talent got themselves over in spite of the poorly run circus around them. Wade Barrett, Rusev, Cesaro, Damian Sandow, all deserved pushed to the moon
The fact bad news was entertaining at that point shows how bad the wwe was at the time. Go back and watch bnb now and you can just how cringeworthy it was
"A wrestling related video I must fight the battle for Hunter no matter what. I know what will show my loyalty, parroting Jim Cornettes nickname. Hilarious. Hunter will surely reward me finally"
Should Wade Barrett have been WWE Champion? Let us know in the comments below!
If not at least 1 world heavyweight title ran deffo deserves a great slam much like sheamus difference is sheamus just needs an IC title
Ya

Injury prone, got injured before every major push he got.
Wade has become a great commentator. Great voice, good humor etc
Wade & Gunther can have a awesome feud if he returned to the ring!

Hell yeaah

I'd lose my mind if Drew McIntyre was complaining, and all of a sudden, "Ive got some bad news!" comes in, and they start a rivalry
It was one of my favourite characters. What a charismatic guy BNB was.
Loved how he would interrupt an otherwise predictable spot and just ruin it for whoever was in the ring.

Crazy even with an accent his vince impression is good😂
Bad News Barret felt like Razor Ramon bad guy gimmick to me.
Sounds good, and can be used for wrestler stuff, and non-wrestling.
Wade's Vince impression is top tier
Not that it's anything wrong with the prime time players 😅😂
Wade Barrett was good. I enjoyed everything about him, until Nexus was squashed by John. Still love John.

Stu Bennett is a fantastic story teller.

I honestly thought this gimmick was going to take him a long ass way.
I still love bad news
If triple h was in control of the nexus thing wade would not of been a jobber so as the rest of the nexus
The fact bad news was entertaining at that point shows how bad the wwe was at the time. Go back and watch bnb now and you can just how cringeworthy it was
Yeah it wouldn't work in today's time just from the amount of stars wwe has
Wrestling has a plumber in AEW 😂

@mothertrucker341 what an odd comment
Almost 5 years older than Cody not 5
